Earthwork Monitoring and Quantity
Management

Trueline Services Inc. provides contractors
and developers with earthwork monitoring and quantity monitoring
services. This involves reviewing estimated quantities for
a project and verifying them. Sometimes this is done pre tender
for the developer, or during tender or after being rewarded
the contract for the contractor.

We provide verification surveys of a sites
existing ground or provide a total topographic survey of existing
site conditions and verify to design. We provide a post stripping
of topsoil topographic survey and calculate topsoil quantities
and also recalculate the site cut-fill quantities from our
stripped survey surface. This informs the contractor and the
developer in early stages if there is going to be a surplus
or shortage of material on site, and allows for some opportunity
to make grading revisions or find solutions to maintain a
balanced site.

We also provide a post cut-fill or sub-grade
check topographic survey and calculate and verify quantities.
Also from this sub-grade check survey a drawing is provided
in both hard copy and AutoCAD form so it can be reviewed and
approved.

The benefits from this work are that it limits
the level of unknowns when it comes to quantities being moved
and also provides a good base to monitor quantities of granular
materials and surface materials.
